Jim Posted January 23, 2021 at 06:01 PM Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 at 06:01 PM Looks like two names of Buddhas - Shakyamuni 釋迦牟尼 and Amitabha 阿彌陀 though the first character of Shakyamuni looks a bit off - maybe a Japanese variant? - and the third one is 尊 something like "revered one" rather than the third character of his usual transliterated name, though shortened versions are common and there is a trinity called the 三尊 that Shakyamuni is part of: http://buddhaspace.org/dict/fk/data/%E4%B8%89%E5%B0%8A.html ETA: Looks like it is the Japanese way of writing the character: https://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/Sakyamuni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
